Pros

- My team is very welcoming and helpful - Don't feel judged for needing help, everyone is willing to teach you new things - Growth-focused mindset with strong encourage of positive personal and organizational development - Team enjoys the work that they do - Currently trying to improve morale and culture

Cons

- Leadership changes business direction a few times a year and makes goals confusing - Projects are often killed, making time wasted and work done for nothing - Strict on local employees and rewards remote employees (local: does not pay for parking unless on-site more than required, no opportunity to appeal remote status, extremely large "hybrid" radius pulling employees from very far away, have to make up on-site days from vacation to keep average up vs remote: pays for flights to hq, hotels, meals, stipends, complete remote work with no issues and other benefits) - Low pay and bad benefits with no interest in increasing/improving - Small groups that end up being useless for work that is needed - Poor communication between departments

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your experience with GNC. I would love to meet with you to discuss your advice to management and some of your comments. With regard to your comment about hybrid vs remote, our radius is 35 miles. That is not extremely large. Most companies have a 50 miles radius. We do pay for parking for those who work onsite 3 days per week (on average). You are right about remote workers who are required to travel in with the exception of the executive team. Any of the executives that travel to the HQ pay for their own travel. You absolutely DO NOT have to "make up" on-site days from vacation to keep your average up. We look at a 3-month average knowing that there will be sick days, vacation days and holidays. Please contact me if you want to discuss: Tracy Notte tracy-notte@gnc-hq.com

Pros

The job provides excellent exposure to a structured sales plan for someone new to sales. The store gets plenty of foot traffic to create opportunities for customer engagement. The varriety of products to sell on is great as well. Pro Access is a great value for customers building a pre and post work out regiment or building a supplement routine.

Cons

You run the show. While there you are responsable for running the store.
